- Demo Update Ahead of Steam Next Fest - 9 October 2025
Hello Warlocks!We're just days away from Steam Next Fest, and we've been busy to make sure that Lost Chapters demo is as polished and punchy as it can be. We'd also like to take a moment to thank you for all the feedback we've received on the demo, especially because your feedback is already helping us change and shape the full game ahead.ChangesSee the primary changes made in version 1.0.0.6:Enemy Health Bars and the Crosshair are now ON by default.The Execute spell has been changed from a single-target one-shot to a powerful close-range area-of-effect ability, making it far more effective against grouped monsters.Cannon Retired (for now!) - The Cannon has been temporarily retired to the workshop for the time being! We felt it overlapped too much with the Harpoon Launcher, so it's back on the workbench for some tinkering.Changed the Swamp Thing's movement patter from erratic steps to j…

- Project Warlock: Lost Chapters Demo coming September 23rd - 12 September 2025
It's not long now. Not long until you have a chance to witness roughly 1/27th of Project Warlock: Lost Chapters. A stand alone game that's been cooking in the background with the efforts of new Buckshot team members, while the development of Project Warlock II was happening full steam. The upcoming Project Warlock: Lost Chapters demo is a short preview of one of the brand new chapters of the game. This one playing to the tune of pirate synth tracks and sounds of thunderous grapeshots, and filled to the brim with the subtle smell of gunpowder laced grog, screeches of kamikaze parrots, and heavy hand held cannons firing at creatures dr Frankenstein would be fond of. Project Warlock: Lost Chapters is a stand alone Project Warlock adventure that evolved over time. It's featuring Warlock who journeys to conquer evils in three brand new, gloriously pixellated and comfortingly brutal chapters.…
- Warlock Projects - 14 May 2025
This year will mark Project Warlock's seventh birthday meaning it can now write, do simple chores and can legally get to play Minecraft, Rayman Legends and Sackboy: The Big Adventure, but sadly not Stardew Valley, Hogwarts Legacy and Stray. Not to mention, Project Warlock cannot in good conscience be allowed to play Wolfenstein 3D (PEGI 12), Hexen (PEGI 12) and let's not even start on the 1993 Doom (17+). Guess those three will have to wait. We're still due for a proper nostalgia trip further down the line, as December launch anniversary comes closer, but for now - a couple of important updates. 1. Project Warlock: Lost Chapters Development Update We've been keeping that one close to the chest, as Project Warlock II went on to occupy roughly 25 hours per day in the last few months, but we're now ready to show some of the designs you can expect to take your blunderbuss, anchor launcher a…
- Announcing Project Warlock: Lost Chapters - 30 September 2023
Warlocks, This year's December 6th will mark the 5th Anniversary of Project Warlock launching on Steam. Five years of adventures where you took the titular Warlock for a spin and navigated the five episodes filled to the brim with devious enemies, fiendish secrets, powerful weapons, impactful spells and handy skills and perks. All across both PC and consoles, physical editions - both console and PC, and literally hundreds of thousands of people enjoying what was the first step on the journey for the titular Warlock. In the meantime - as you are aware we embarked on another adventure to expand the roster of characters inhabiting the Warlock World before the inevitable explosive finale that will be Project Warlock III (when we announce it). Before we do that, though, we'd like to announce something a bit less expected. Throughout the development of Project Warlock II the game went into an…
